>YOu can continue to be a Muslim extremist sympathizer and apologist or you can acknowledge the truth, which is that Middle Eastern news sources, clergy, and public officials spend a majority of their time inciting hate, instead of looking for the real root causes of their own society's inadequacies. Well, they certainly do, but that doesn't mean that we have to do the opposite to balance it out. Two wrongs do not make a right. -Z

MM, I suspect that this is but one example of what is being preached to the masses in the Islamist world. Also notice the translated version, a whole lot different indeed. "Double messages at the mosque" The largest mosque in Stockholm is spreading double messages. What the Imam says in his speech in Arabic doesn't match how the text is interpreted in Swedish. “America rapes Islam,” the Imam roars in Arabic from the platform. The interpreter translates to Swedish: “We condemn USA:s torture of Iraqi prisoners.” And here a somewhat more elaborative passage of same speech (the Fidel has indeed by this time warmed up to the task) Quote from the Imam's sermon in Arabic: “How long will you sit with your arms crossed and watch as the enemies of Islam imprisons your brothers and sisters, torture them, dishonour and kill them? Have we as Muslims sunk so low that we allow American soldiers to rape us and piss on us? Haven't you understood that America doesn't want what is best for the Muslims? Haven't you understood that the only thing America wants is the humiliation of Muslims? Haven't you understood that America wants that the grandchildren of the Prophet submit to Bush. America will pay the price for all martyrs who have died in Palestine. There are those who are spreading lies in the media, saying that we in the mosque don't think that the former Hamas Leader, Sheik Ahmad Yassin, is a martyr, He is certainly a martyr and the martyr of martyrs. I want everybody in Sweden to know that.” Quote from the interpreter's Swedish translation of the Imam's sermon: “We condemn America's torture of Iraqi prisoners. The UN:s treaties forbid torture. We want the Americans who are responsible to brought before the court. America has committed inhuman acts. But at the same time we want to remind Muslims to not judge all Americans alike... Think about all American parents who sent their children to Bosnia in order to help Muslims there.” Enjoy the full version below (link, hope it works) Taro watch.windsofchange.net
